We use and have enhanced the moinmoin wiki to docbook XML converter for
use in Fedora Project documentation. It is used to generate the release
notes and other documentation much of which is originally written in the
wiki, converted into Docbook, translated and published in more than a
dozen languages. It is not perfect but it lowers the barrier to work
with content significantly.
